The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Now that you have decided to go abroad for an investigation, you must settle down your domestic affairs before you go abroad!

At the beginning of June, Colonel Mainz returned to the capital, Bolin, where he found the director of the Bolin Military Academy, Major General Wimbled, the elder, and handed him a sum of money.

"Your Excellency Colonel, is this an appropriation for the army?".

Old Wimble held the money in his hand, and his hands trembled a little.

This is not only because the weight of the money in his hand is very heavy (Mainz did not give the mark, which had been seriously depreciated at this time, but directly to the gold), but also because of the irrepressible joy in his heart after being saved, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Well, this is the support given to you by the army, I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere, this money is not much, but it should be able to support it for a while!".

Colonel Mainz did not tell the truth, this is not actually a grant for the army, the army is already poor to the point of large-scale disarmament to sustain itself, how can it have the money to support military academies everywhere?

The real source of this money actually comes from an account called BMW, and the actual owner of this company, which has been established for less than three years, stands in front of the old Wimble Major General at this time!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to quell the workers' uprising in the Ruhr industrial area, Colonel Mainz secretly established trade links with the woolly bears.

The hairy bear man who was released by him at the beginning, after returning to the hairy bear, reported the news leaked to him by Mainz.

And after getting this news, the senior management of Mao Bear attaches great importance to it.

The woolly bear in 1919 was in an extremely difficult situation.

After the October Revolution, they were faced with a great existential crisis.

After the establishment of the red bear, it has been facing the encirclement and suppression of various domestic forces, and this situation has become more severe after the end of World War I, and a large number of foreign forces and even the army have begun to be involved in the civil war of the woolly bear.

With the support of the Entente, the White Military Government, based on White Russia, began to launch a civil war against the woolly bears, which was extremely fierce from the beginning.

Although the Red Bear's army controls Petrograd and Mosco, most of the country is still in the hands of the enemy, and coupled with the naval blockade of Britain and the United States, the Red Bear is currently completely trapped in a huge encirclement.

The White Army and foreign intervention armies outside the encirclement are tightening the noose around their necks step by step, trying to strangle the nascent red country in its cradle.

In the early days of the war, the situation was quite unfavorable to the Red Army, which, due to the lack of specially educated and trained officers to command and organize, the Red Army units were disorganized, inexperienced in combat, and low in combat effectiveness, and were simply unable to suppress the White Army, which was composed of professional soldiers such as officers, cadets, and Cossacks.

During the Tsarist period, the civilians of the whole country were called the gray cattle of the Tsar, and these people could not become high-ranking generals in the army, and the vast majority of officers in middle and high-level positions were controlled by the nobles of Tsarist Russia.

Naturally, these people could not join an enemy who was trying to exterminate their own class, and they joined the White Army and took part in the encirclement and suppression of the red woolly bears, causing great problems to the Red Army, which lacked officers and generals.

Beginning with the civil war in 1917, the war lasted for two years, and the red woolly bear paid a great price, with more than 1.5 million troops killed and wounded in the war, and the peasants and workers who ruled over them, also suffered more than five million casualties!

Moreover, the areas where the war broke out between the two sides are basically concentrated in the elite areas with large populations and developed industries, and it is obvious that everyone knows the important value of these industrial areas, and everyone wants to take them as their own!

The war of this scale, coupled with the destruction caused by repeated battles, simply shattered the little industrial base that had been built up with great difficulty during the Tsarist period, and Mao Xiong directly transformed from a semi-industrialized country into a backward agricultural country.

The direct impact of this outcome was that both the Soviet army and the White Army were unable to produce weapons and equipment because their factories were damaged, resulting in a shortage of weapons.

In the face of this situation, the White Army can also buy weapons and equipment from the hands of the Entente, after all, the First World War has just ended, and a large number of equipment that has been retreated from the front line is in need of cleaning, and the White Army just needs it, and the two sides hit it off, and these weapons were sent to the White Army by the Entente.

Of course, in exchange, the White Army gave the Entente a large amount of gold and silver, and also signed many unequal treaties, and sold a large number of national interests of the whole woolly bear.

As far as the White Army is concerned, as long as they can win the war, what they lose can be scavenged from those gray cattle in the whole country, as for the interests of the country, it doesn't matter, as long as they can keep their own interests!

But for the Soviet army, in the face of the blockade of the Entente, they did not even have the opportunity to sell their national interests in exchange for weapons and equipment support.

In this case, the woolly bear, who is in urgent need of weapons and equipment, meets a country that is willing to sell weapons and equipment to them, so it is natural that he is overjoyed and can't ask for it!

Therefore, after the incident was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of the high-level of Mao Xiong, and the Bolshevik, who was released by Colonel Mainz, was not only not held responsible, but was also promoted to a knighthood and returned to Deyizhi with a new organizational task.

"Hi my old friend, we meet again!".

When he saw this middle-aged man again, Colonel Mainz could barely recognize the other party.

I haven't seen him for half a year, the other party has changed greatly, and the temperament on his body has become more obvious, as if he has experienced a lot of things, which made Mainz interested in his experience, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Just as Colonel Mainz was looking at the other party, the middle-aged man was also looking at the colonel himself.

The last time I saw Mainz, Mainz was just a major battalion commander with a few hundred people, but I didn't see him for half a year, and Mainz was actually promoted, and he crossed one level and was directly promoted to colonel, this promotion speed surprised the middle-aged man.

If it was the war years, this kind of thing is reasonable, and there are many young officers in the Soviet army who have been promoted very quickly, and the more famous one is Budyonny, a young general who was a small cavalry regiment commander half a year ago, has become the commander of the Soviet Army's First Cavalry Army at this time, and his promotion speed has caused heated discussions within the Soviet army.

And Major Mainz can still get such a promotion without war, which shows that the other party either has a strong background or has extremely outstanding strength!

The middle-aged man is obviously more convinced of the latter!
